There are many options, but as your feet may still be growing, don't go overboard.

The rest of the Kit will be discussed durning the theory sessions, but it is a lightweight hike/camping. We have provided a kit list for reference.

Scouts have some kit that can be borrowed for the hike if you do not have suitable kit.

Brief overview

Particpants will meet the leaders at the starting point and we will begin a 3-day 2-night lightweight Hike around Bouddi National Park; we will work on skills required to keep safe, plan and execute an adventurous journey like this for themselves (maybe for their Peak award in scouts).

Method of transport to and from the activity: Parents to Transport
